(Chris Cagle Kenny Mims) Way Back home where the cypress grewIn a clapboard shack on the black bayouLive a woman and a man that I call Mom and DadAnd Times were hard and times were toughWe barely had nothing' but we didn't need muchExcept for the love of a woman and a man Daddy worked his fingers to the boneBut I know my mamma was the reason he was strong Everybody knows if the cold wind blowsThe seeds don't sprout and the crops won't growEven though you've done the best you can And when you're livin in a house that u don't ownAnd the money in the bank is almost goneThe only thing in life I know that standsIs the love between a woman and a man Well, I grew up workin like my daddy didBroke the land with my hands and the money rolled inBut it wasn't enough and I did not understandYou see, the only thing that matters money can't buyAnd when it gets down the bottom lineIt's the love you find between a woman and a man Everything Daddy said to me was true'Cause my life was not complete until I found you Everybody knows if the cold wind blowsThe seeds don't sprout and the crops won't growEven though you've done the best you can Everybody knows if the cold wind blowsThe seeds don't sprout and the crops won't growEven though you've done the best you can Only thing in life that standsIs the love between a woman and a man
